Because the Christian tradition holds that people who are against God are usually influenced by demons and demons don't feel comfortable around the symbol of the cross.

Different symbols have different meanings for different people - I have a cross I wear occasionally, because it’s a memory of my grandmother, she wore it every day. I also have my grandfather’s wedding ring...

Not believing in something doesn’t mean you’re opposed to it - I’m an atheist, it doesn’t mean there’s hate, malice or anger, I just don’t believe that specific god, or any of them, are real. You as a Christian don’t believe Zeus or Odin are real gods, does that mean you hate them? I somehow doubt that - it may bother you that some believe they are, but they’re not relevant to you in that sense. That’s how most atheists feel about your god - as well as how people who worship different gods would feel about your god.

Of course, but she seemed to go out of her way to disprove God and mock people's belief in Him, and that kind of behavior seems closer to antitheism (or to militant atheism) than to the regular "I don't think there's a God, but I don't really care one way or the other" atheism.

i only do that when other people claim they have prove for the existence of (a) god.
Like someone else said:

Religion is like a penis. It's fine to have one and it's fine to be proud of it, but please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around... and PLEASE don't try to shove it down my (child's) throat.

You find it offensive when people belittle your faith, we find it offensive when you expect non christians to base their lives on something they don’t care for or believe in.

Most atheists are perfectly moral, good people, much like most christians and muslims and pagans. Good and evil exist in equal levels in people, what they believe or claim to believe doesn’t affect that much
